Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow, we just had breaking news.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has been voted to be indicted by a
Speaker 1: grand jury. First president to beingdicted former first president. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? Well, Donald Trump announced on true Social
Speaker 1: that he's been indicated rather than indicting. But no spell
Speaker 1: check the president. He probably should have chat chypt help
Speaker 1: him put together tweets, But I don't, um, you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Why not? You know? Donald Trump has been
Speaker 1: a pathological liar and lawbreaker his whole life, and yet
Speaker 1: and has gone away with it. Oh yeah, Like he's
Speaker 1: a master of getting away with it, and finally he's
Speaker 1: facing the accountability he deserves. But I know, I want
Speaker 1: to see that park walk. I'm dying for that. That's
Speaker 1: the only thing I want to say. But I will
Speaker 1: confess of all the crimes that he's committed in his life.
Speaker 1: I never thought, in my wildest dreams that he would
Speaker 1: be taken down by Hush Aims to a porn star.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's right right through that to that. So
Speaker 1: he's like he's like the al caponent of American politics.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we're real well put well put now.
Speaker 1: Now you're the first openly gay Afro Latino congress noting
Speaker 1: me publicly, Come on, Oh no, no, I would never
Speaker 1: do that. I would never do that. And you're part
Speaker 1: of the Hispanic caucus, the Black Caucus, the equity caucus.
Speaker 1: Don't you think all these caucuses should caucus together and
Speaker 1: greater enormous caucus. How power would that caucus be? Look, foss,
Speaker 1: Diversity is not a source of division, It's a source
Speaker 1: of unity. The House Democratic Caucus is the most diverse
Speaker 1: legislative caucus in American history. Seventy percent of the caucus
Speaker 1: consists of members of the LGBTQ community, woman, people of color.
Speaker 1: Like the House Democratic Caucus has more diversity and intersectionality
Speaker 1: than George Santos. So sneaking of George Santos And by
Speaker 1: the way, George Santos and I were the only Latinos
Speaker 1: in the New York Congressional delegation, so we're very close.
Speaker 1: Does he pretend to did he somebody else? When you
Speaker 1: tried to talk to him? You know, I avoid him.
Speaker 1: You're the one that avoys. That's what I thought. You know,
Speaker 1: I have trouble keeping track of his lies. But you know,
Speaker 1: he's pretended to be a gay by racial Ukrainian, Belgian,
Speaker 1: Brazilian Jewish. Yes, a volleyball champion, Wall Street banker, whose
Speaker 1: mother died twice, including on nine eleven, whose ancestors survived
Speaker 1: the Holocaust, whose employees died in the Pulsemah shooting. I mean,
Speaker 1: his life story is the greatest fiction in the history
Speaker 1: of Congressional Oh my god, it's so true though. That's
Speaker 1: why that's why I introduced stopping another non truthful office
Speaker 1: seeker Act, the Santos Act. Yes, how long did it
Speaker 1: take you to come up with that acronym? Was born
Speaker 1: with that acronym in mind? Oh shit, what can I
Speaker 1: say to that? I feel like my life is like
Speaker 1: a drama. I mean, January sixth was my third day
Speaker 1: on the job. Wow, that's your third day, thirday in
Speaker 1: the job. And so if someone had said to a
Speaker 1: younger version of myself, Richie, you're going to become a
Speaker 1: member of Congress during a global pandemic and witness an
Speaker 1: insurrection against the US capital and then vote to impeach
Speaker 1: the host of the celebrity Apprentice, and all of that
Speaker 1: would happen within the first two weeks, I would have
Speaker 1: said that sounds like a movie. Written by George Santos
Speaker 1: ch Chan brother. Now, now you know we had this
Speaker 1: terrible shooting this week, I wanted to ask you about
Speaker 1: gun reform. I mean Republicans they don't want to support
Speaker 1: background checks, they mental fund programs. I mean, what do
Speaker 1: we do about this? How do how do we deal
Speaker 1: with them? Look, whenever there's a mass shooting, Republicans are
Speaker 1: quick to bring up mental illness. Every society on earth
Speaker 1: has mental illness. We are the only wealthy country that
Speaker 1: has an epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings. That
Speaker 1: is not like, let's be clear, it's it's not an inevitability.
Speaker 1: It's a public policy choice. Like we as a society
Speaker 1: have chosen to put our own children at risk of
Speaker 1: gun violence. And there are Republicans who claim we're powerless
Speaker 1: because there's evil in the world. And my view is,
Speaker 1: if you're too powerless to protect children from mass murder,
Speaker 1: then you have no business being in Congress. Yes, like,
Speaker 1: what do you is? That's why I voted for you?
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you well. If you voted for me
Speaker 1: without being in my district, that's voter fraud. So I
Speaker 1: want that's why I campaign for you. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: I didn't vote twice. I appreciate that I tried, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't. Although your endorsement is an I legal contribution,
Speaker 1: and we just had a former president and didn't contribute,
Speaker 1: I stomped for you. Yeah, that's why you're my new
Speaker 1: embassy show, the documentaries that I'm doing it like Zama
Speaker 1: does America. You're in my third episode. Thank you, Richie.
